@apsva.us @suptduran.apsva.us @apsvaschoolbd.bsky.social If we think about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, no learning can take place without meeting the physical needs of our students. Thank you to all of our cafeteria staff for feeding our students each day so they are ready to learn!

Hey, @apsva.us! It may no longer be random acts of kindness week but a special week shouldn't be needed if we focus on being kind every day! Take the extra step. Be a little extra kind. Be patient with someone struggling. It matters.
Excited to kick off my spring school visits at @wakefield.apsva.us! I joined an Instructional Coaching meeting, connected with a 2026 Posse Scholar and visited a classroom. So proud of the work happening here. 🎓 #OneTeamOneAPS #APSSuptVisits
